Enter an origin and destination airport plus a cabin. We look up which of our covered loyalty programmes fly that region pair and show a typical points band for each, sourced from the programme's own published chart where one exists, or from manual editorial spot-checks on the airline's own booking site where pricing is dynamic. Every row carries a source link and a verification date. We never fetch live seat availability: see below for why.
These are typical prices, not live availability. We show you what fair looks like before you search.
To find actual bookable seats, use an award search engine:
Live award-availability search requires scraping airline inventory, a litigated risk category. Miles Mosaic complements the search tools rather than competing with them. This link-out is a trust feature, not a leak.
Points bands by cabin
A typical route on this pair is LHR → JFK (3,442 mi).
Programmes that price by flight distance rather than by region show that route's exact band below, plus the wider range this region pair can reach.
Delta-partner peak/off-peak chart, UK to US East Coast, Main Cabin. Air France/KLM own chart for the same zone pair prices economy at 12,000-22,000 one-way, close but not used as this row figure to avoid conflating the two partner charts.
Partner awards booked on Delta, ANA or Air France/KLM carry minimal or no carrier-imposed surcharges, unlike Virgin Atlantic own metal.
Same NAM-EUR zone pair as the reverse direction: a round-trip zone chart prices both legs as one ticket, so the figure does not change by direction.
Turkish Airlines and TAP carry no surcharge through ANA; Lufthansa segments can exceed $2,000 round-trip. Medium reflects that spread, not one guaranteed figure.
Published region-to-region chart; the Star Alliance partner chart (a separate table on the same page) applies for onward partner connections.
Turkish Airlines award taxes and fees are typically modest relative to Star Alliance peers, one of the reasons the programme is popular for redemptions.
Delta-partner peak/off-peak chart, UK to US East Coast, Delta One. Air France/KLM own chart for the same zone pair prices business at 48,500-58,500 one-way, close but not used as this row figure to avoid conflating the two partner charts.
Partner awards booked on Delta, ANA or Air France/KLM carry minimal or no carrier-imposed surcharges, unlike Virgin Atlantic own metal.
Regional distance-based partner chart (Americas / EMEA / Asia-Pacific); a $20 partner-booking fee per person each way applies from 1 Jul 2026 (waived for Summit Visa Infinite holders).
Alaska is known for curating lower-surcharge partners; a flat per-person partner-booking fee (rising to $20 each way from 1 Jul 2026) applies separately from any carrier surcharge.
Same NAM-EUR zone pair as the reverse direction: a round-trip zone chart prices both legs as one ticket, so the figure does not change by direction.
Turkish Airlines and TAP carry no surcharge through ANA; Lufthansa segments can exceed $2,000 round-trip. Medium reflects that spread, not one guaranteed figure.

How many points from Europe to North America in business class?
The lowest business-class band we currently track for this pair is Turkish Miles & Smiles at 45,000–60,000 points one-way, sourced 16 Aug 2026. See the full table above for every programme we cover on this pair.
Which loyalty programme is cheapest for Europe to North America?
It depends on cabin and the exact airports you fly. Distance-based programmes like Avios price the specific route, while fixed-chart programmes price the whole region the same regardless of the exact airports. Compare the bands above by cabin rather than relying on a single "cheapest" answer, since the ranking can flip between economy and business.
Why do you show a band instead of an exact number?
Most programmes now price dynamically, so a single number would be fake precision. A band tells you honestly what typical redemptions look like, sourced and dated, so you can judge whether a specific search result is a good deal.
Why can't I search for actual available seats here?
Live award-availability search requires scraping airline inventory in bulk, which is a litigated risk category (Air Canada v. seats.aero, ongoing; American Airlines v. Skiplagged, a 9.4 million dollar verdict). We do manual editorial curation from official public chart pages instead, and link out to the real search engines by name.
How often is this updated?
Every row is re-verified at least quarterly. A row older than 80 days shows an amber "verification due" note rather than hiding its age.
Where does the surcharge flag come from?
A light, medium or heavy label per programme, based on that programme's typical carrier-imposed surcharges on this kind of route, with a source link. It is not a full taxes-and-fees calculator.
